Thank you oh great one!

[KenC]

Well, that's confirmed ... all 3 Queens in New York on January 13, 2011 (I feel another t-shirt opportunity coming on!!!). The QV and QE are in tandem to Aruba then split up and go through the Panama on consecutive days and arrive in LA on consecutive days!!! Quite a show really. :D

 

Cheers

Hello ocngypz,

 

thank for that information!!! Where did you get it, thats great. And what a surprising way QM2 takes from South America....

 

So I am looking forward to see the deals they offer.

 

Cheers

A slight improvement for QM2 . . . at least it stops in Rio.

 

But, definitely QE is the one for me . . . Hopefully, it makes an immediate crossing to NYC (or, maybe QM2 is available) . . . otherwise, I'll be stuck in England for a bit . . . not to say that is bad thing. Cheers!

The schedules and opening date were sent to agents last night around 830pm eastern time. I just happened to open my work email from home.

 

QE passengers would return to NYC via the QM2 on 19 Apr 2011.

 

The two ships are in tandem through Ft Lauderdale. QE then heads to Aruba, QM2 to Barbados.

Hello oh great font of knowledge LOL - I think you meant QE will be in tandem with QV (QM2 gets into Fort Lauderdale one day earlier). Shame they're not doing a tandem Panama transit - that would have been a photo opportunity!!! Interesting that QM2 is avoiding going around the Horn again - any indications how her eastbound World 2010 sailing is selling so far???

 

cheers

[KenC]

Apparently there is the opportunity in 2011 of doing around the world on 3 Queens - QV to New York, then QE to Sydney and QM2 to Southampton. How cool is that??

Too bad you'd lose most of your WC benefits sailing a b2b2b on three ships

.........and oh jeesh.......the packing and repacking.

 

Sorry, in answer to your other question regarding QM2 2010........it's a mixed bag.. depending on categories and particular segments. But overall, I'd say not bad. The refaring in March.. boosted sales......some categories are now higher than they were when I opened group space in the beginning. I see limited categories available on past passenger rates in all segments.

If Cunard marketing could get beyond slogans they might actually think it smart to try to fill capacity by selling 'Around the World on Three Queens' and maintain the WC benefits.....how hard could that be.....:rolleyes:

[Bramcruiser]

Not that I could ever take vacations from January to April due to my job (and whether I could actually ever afford to do it) but I love segment one of the QM2's 2011 trip. I've always wanted to see Rio and Cape Town. Oh well there's always the bridge cam and the virtual cruise. :)

 

I just consider myself lucky to get a chance to try out the QE in 2010 prior to her going off on her world cruise. I promise to keep it in shape.:D

Hi David - arrival at these ports are probably two of the most impressive in the world and to do them both in one cruise on QM2 would be amazing!!! They would have to be daytime arrivals though - 6.00am wouldn't quite do them justice!!!

 

Cheers

[southwestie]

Sounds good to me,We are thinking World cruise for 2011, like the idea of QE for sure, but the idea of all 3 Queens is something, we are 100% interested in that

I saw this cruise I would love to go on one of these world cruises but unfortunately due to my work schedule getting that amount of time off would be nearly impossible.

I was wondering how do you guys prepare for these trips the packing and making plans for your home for the time away?
